The Polish Capital is full of things to see and do, and it’s a great destination to visit no matter the season.

Top 10 Things to See in Warsaw

Top 14 Things to See in Warsaw

1. Barbican

What was once a defensive wall to protect Warsaw’s Old Town is now one of the most relevant landmarks in the city. This sixteenth century fortress sits at the border of the Old and New City, and often plays hosts to a variety of exhibitions. It’s truly hard to miss when visiting Warsaw’s Old Town!

2. Old Town & The Royal Route

The restored Centro storico is brimming with cafes, restaurants, and a great atmosphere. Full of Renaissance and Baroque style buildings, Market Square in the old town is our first pick for things to see in Warsaw!

Il Royal Route leads from Castle Square, all the way to Wilanow. By walking this route, you’ll also see the royal palaces, the „New World Street”, and Lazienki Park, which is full of peacocks, squirrels and has a Chopin monument.

3. Jewish Cemetery

Established in 1806, the Jewish Cemetery is a sombre but very interesting thing to do in Warsaw. With more than 150,000 tombstones throughout the grounds, it’s one of the largest in Europe. Inside the cemetery, you can find the graves of many prominent Polish Jews, as well as a the Monument to the Children of the Ghetto.

4. Communist Warsaw

What’s a list of things to see in Warsaw without mentioning communist architecture? Warsaw has been resurrected from the ashes quite a few times. As a result of Soviet occupation, the city is home to a fair amount of communist (Socialist Realism) style architecture. For a great example, check out the Palace of Culture and Science. It’s the tallest building in Poland, and now houses a cinema, theatres, some bars, and an observation deck!

For more examples of socialist realist architecture, check out the MDM quarter (Marszałkowska Housing District) in the city centre.

When hunger strikes, try out a milk bar diner! They were popular in Communist times, and many still exist all over the city. They’re loved for their cheap, home-style cooking, and unique atmosphere. We recommend Wegetariański Bar Mleczny Warszawa. If you’re looking for more food recommendations, check out our Warsaw Food Guide and our Warsaw Vegan Food Guide!

5. Wilanow Palace

There’s no denying the palaces and castles of Poland are gorgeous and ornately decorated, so if this is your thing, then don’t miss out on Wilanow Palace. From 1674-1696 it served as the summer residence for the Polish Royal Family, and is a stunning example of Polish Baroque architecture. And unlike much of Europe’s landmarks, it was spared from destruction during WWII, so what you see is essentially the original!

6. Parks & Green Areas

Warsaw has gardens, forests and over 70 parks for you to explore! We recommend Royal Park Lazienki for an urban retreat. Another top favourite includes the Multimedia Fountain Park. Opened in 2011, this beautiful garden has various coloured fountains, all providing great views of the park. But it doesn’t stop there. The fountains also play music in sync with the water fountain activity. It’s truly a sight to see! Located in the Podzamcze district and a short walk north of the Old Town, it’s one of the coolest parks in Warsaw.

In summer, take a blanket and listen to the live, open air Chopin music concerts. Kampinoski National Park is an urban escape with dunes, elks and even bison. You can get there by tram. It’s one of the coolest things to do in Warsaw!

Warsaw’s most famous person is the music composer, Frederic Chopin. Whether you’re a professional musician or an amateur, you’ll enjoy the Chopin Museum. Play the piano, and listen to the stories about Chopin!
